Lined along the tall buildings in the marina area, standing with 52 floors, we arrived here at about midnight via an airport taxi that cost us 82.50 dirhams (including the airport surcharge of 20 dhs) after 30 minutes of travel from Emirates Terminal 3.
Check in at Dubai Marriot Harbour Hotel and Suites was fast but I was surprised when the security stopped me from shooting with my handycam in the lobby and at entrance of the hotel. The concierge, “Chico”, a Vietnamese guy, brought our luggage up and showed as around the huge 2 bedroom-apartment suite on the 27th floor. It was well equipped and fully furnished. Very spacious, great kitchen complete with all kitchen utensils. A washing machine and iron and ironing board, a balcony with a fantastic view of the palm! Another guest-room with a single bed is there (more like a maids- room, without a window). The master’s bedroom has a 42” LCD tv and a king-size bed, while the other room has two single beds with its own toilet and bath too. I loved the bedding! So soft and comfortable. In total, the apartment suite has 4 toilets (ensuite). There is a book shelf in the living area with lots of reading materials. Swimming pool was small and nothing to rave about but since not much guests come so you can have it t yourself most of the time. Gulf news is provided every day. A small store on the second floor is available otherwise Spinney’s grocery is about 5 minutes walk and lots of cafes lined in the marina area and yachts all over. The observatory bar and restaurant on the top floor was also worth a visit with a 360 degree view of the palm island. A signature spa is also available and few restaurants inside. The Hotel is very good for families specially for those who intend to self cater. We prepared our breakfast and sometimes lunch too, somehow it helped us with our budget. Besides, our otherwise plain breakfast is made special because of the beautiful and relaxing view of the sea. I highly recommend this hotel.

We often find ourselves just looking outside the window admiring the calm sea each morning. Mama said she feels sleepy looking at the sea outside and it just seemed like a picture coz nothing seemed moving. Lots of yachts parked, still empty private beaches (we could see Le Meridien Mina Seyahe from our balcony and Habtoor Grand). But as the day progresses, we enjoyed watching parachutes landing, sea plane taking off and then occasionally the yachts moving and some water sports in the nearby resorts.

From the hotel, we paid 23 dhs to reach Atlantis via taxi which are immediately available right infront of the hotel.
